Jean Michael Monot, 45, from France, is racing strong and comfortable in his rookie year at Badwater. After taking 10 years off from competing as a triathlete, Jean Michael is back on his legs and proving that he has what it takes to complete this course. Utilizing a 3-member crew, one is assigned to driving the vehicle only and the other 2 are in charge of all other aspects of his race. Heading to the summit of Townes Pass, he says that he has had no problems and that he is having a stellar race thus far.
